Can I boost up my GMAT Score 540 --> 700 ?

I need your help. Today, I took the fifth GMAT test and I feel discouraged. Does beat the GMAT have additional test for Verbal especially CR and SC? I need to boost up my verbal.

My past GMAT
1) Q39/V16 total 460 (Thursday, 23 Feb 2012 9:00 AM)
2) Q45/V20 total 540 (Wednesday, 25 Apr 2012 9:00 AM)
3) Q46/V17 total 530 (Friday, 1 Jun 2012 9:00 AM)
4) Q39/V10 total 400 (Tuesday, 15 Jan 2013 9:00 AM)
5) GMATPrep #1 Q44/V17 total 510 (15 Jan 2013)
6) GMATPrep #2 Q45/V17 total 510 (24 March 2013)
7) Q47/V17 total 520 (27 March 2013 09:00 AM)

Yes, it is an official score. I used to read CR Bible,SC of Manhattan book and practice with the OG 10th, Verbal review 2nd edition. However, I simply practice the questions without analyzing each choice in the questions. What should I do next?

Answer explanations, answer explanations, answer explanations. You have to learn the material. Spend time understanding why the right answers are right and why the wrong are wrong. If you are not taking the time to understand the answers, then you really aren't learning anything.

Hi Powxoper,
You can refer to the 'Self Study' section of BTG and opt for any of the study plan. BTG has detailed about all the kind of study material available.
Secondly I would suggest that you should analyse your errors thoroughly. This will help you a lot. Perhaps you can refer to the below link on how to use the error logs:

Wish you luck.

Cheers,
GG
